Psalms 1241 If it had not been YHWH who was on our side, now may Yisra'El say;2 If it had not been YHWH who was on our side, when men rose up against us:3 Then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was kindled against us:4 Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul:5 Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.6 Blessed be YHWH, who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth.7 Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped.8 Our help is in the name of YHWH, who made heaven and earth.
